Azure AKS Agent CLI Skill

Overview

The Agentic CLI for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is an AI-powered troubleshooting and insights tool (currently in preview) that brings advanced diagnostics directly to your terminal. It allows you to ask natural language questions about your cluster's health, configuration, and issues without requiring deep Kubernetes expertise or knowledge of complex command syntax.

Primary Command: az aks agent
